Will a project which is part of an existing campus get points in Criterion 24 (GRIHA Version 03) if the waste is being sent to a centralized facility?

Query

Our project is part of an existing campus. For GRIHA documentation, we have assumed a GRIHA virtual boundary. A common waste storage area has been provided for the entire campus at one location. Waste collected from our project will also go to this storage. However, this area is outside the virtual boundary. Will we achieve point in Criterion 24 (GRIHA Version 03)?

Solution

Yes, if the project has a common facility for the entire campus for solid waste management and the solid waste generated from the new buildings will also be integrated into the current solid waste treatment system, then that is acceptable.
